This unit assesses the learner’s ability to highlight or lowlight hair using weaving techniques through a practical assessment observed by an assessor.

Prior evidence must include at least two weaved foil services (minimum 10 foils per service), as recorded in the training record book.

Practical assessment:

  • Performed on a client or model under the supervision of a Senior Stylist (independent of the assessment)

  • Learners mix and measure products according to manufacturer instructions and Senior Stylist guidance

  • Apply highlights or lowlights using weaving techniques with a minimum of 10 foils

  • Complete client record card, including allergy test results if applicable

  • Work efficiently within a commercially accepted timeframe (guideline: 20 minutes per 10 foils)

Learners are assessed on accuracy, technique, product application, hair coverage, and adherence to professional standards.

Skill Level: Beginner
